Silver Certificates
A Minor Variety — The Change-Over Pair
By Roland S. Carrof^hers
The collet'lor of paper money who b interested in as-
sembling: a collection of more than just one of each
type note from the 87 series of small size one, five and
ten dollar Silver Certificates which exist will find many
interesting avenues to follow in arriving at his objective.
The most absorbing and rewarding b, perhaps, the col-
lection of a complete set of letter blocks, but this cannot
be pursued to conclusion without considerable expense
and a great amount of work.
Other avenues, less arduous and nut so expensive, are
available through the pursuance of some of the minor
varieties. One of these, the Shifted Face Plate Number,
was the subject of a previous article in Paper Money.
Another very interesting variety, which will be dbcus.sed
here, is the Change-Over Pair.
A Change-0\er Pair, by definition, consists of a note
of one scries tied to a note of another series by consecu-
tive serial numbers. The definition applies to this phe-
nomenon only in its broadest sense because pairs by
such description can be found in several different classes
and types.
A general study of the many possibilities under which
such pairs may be formed seems to indicate that they
fall into the following logical divbions:
Class I. A cut-off transition between one series and an-
otlicr.
Class II. A transition from one series to another and back
again.
Class III. A cut-off transition between one type and an-
other in the same series.
Class IV. A transition back and forth between types in
the same scries.
Class V. A transition back and forth between minor types
in the same series. (Poor Man’s Change-Over Pair)
These five classes are further divided into two types,
as follows:
The Progressive Pair. Represents a pair in which the
note of the earlier series or type has the lower serial
number and the note of the later series or type has the
next higher number.
The Recessive Pair. Represents a pair in which the note
of the later series or type has the lower serial number
and the note of the earlier series or type has the next
higher number.
The true Change-Over Pair, which, in fact, results
from a cut-off change over, has been designated here as
Class I for the sake of identification. The Change-Over
Pairs of this class occur only when one series changes
to another series during the running of the same letter
block in each series and the last sheet of the first series
is followed immediately by the first sheet of the next
series. This applies only to those cases in which the
serial number terminating the earlier series is the first
number in the pair and the serial number beginning the
later series is the second number in the pair. In the case
of 12-5ubject sheets, the last note, in position L on the last
sheet of one series and the first note, in position A on the
first sheet of the following series, constitute the true
Change-Over Pair. In the case of IR-subject sheets,
the last note, in position R on the last sheet of one series
and the last note in position R on the first sheet of the
following series, constitute the true Change-Over Pair.
Ill the case of 32-subject sheets, such a pair would be
created in the same way as on the Iff-subject sheet, but
the notes constituting the true Change-Over Pair would
both be in position H4 on the consecutive sheets. It
should be stated here that the notes in every position on
the two consecutive sheets, except those in positions R
and H4. on 18-subject and 32-subject sheets, respectively,
on which the true Change-Over Pair is created also form
consecutive pairs, but of Class II instead of Class I, as
described above.
True Change-Over Pairs, in the one dollar denomina-
tion. are possible in the transition from Series 19.35 Ex-
perimentals. Blocks A-B. B-B, C-B to the same blocks in
the regular issue in Series lUSSA; Series 1935D (narrow
back) to Series IV.SSE in the N-G Block; Series E to
Series F in the P-I Block: Series F to Series G (no motto)
in the B-J Block: Series G (with motto) to Series H in
the D-J Block: and Series lUaTA to Series 1957B in the
0-A Block. In the five dollar denomination, there exist
only two possibilities for true Change-Over Pairs, in the
transition from Series 1953 to Series 1953A in the D-A
Block and from Series 1953A to Series 1953B in the
F-A Block. In the ten dollar denomination, there also
are two true Change-Over Pairs, in the transition from
Series 1953 to Series 1953A and from Series 1953A to
Series 19.5.3B, both in Block A-A.
The transition from the one dollar Series F to Series
G (no motto) above is unique in that three changes were
actually made in Block B-J. First a change was made ter-
minating Series 1935F at serial number B54000000J and
lieginning Series 1935G (no motto) with serial number
54000001J hut, after 17,640.000 notes were printed in
Series 1935G (no motto), 360,000 additional unfinished
notes of Series 1935F were found and a change was made
from Series 1935G (no motto) back to Series 1935F
to print them. Following the late printing of these
Series 1935 notes with serial numbers B71640001J to
B72000000J, which constitute the well-known and highly
prized B71 — J variety, the change was made back to
Series 1935G (no motto) to complete the block. In the
strictest interpretation of the definition, only the second
progressive change should have been designated as Class
I. and the first progressive change, as well as the follow-
ing recessive change should have been designated Class
II. but. because of the uniqueness of the situation, they

were all given ihe higher rating. This situation of a
change from one series to the next, followed by a rever-
sion to the first series an dthe final return to the second
series to complete the block clearly illustrates the char-
acter of Progressive and Recessive pairs. Thus the Re-
cessive pair above, between the two Progressive pairs,
becomes the only such occurrence in Class 1.
The true Change-Over Pairs, 14 in all, in the one, five
and ten dollar small size Silver Certificates are only one
of a kind, and very few of us will ever be fortunate
enough to see any of them, let alone possess one. The
other four Cla-sses, however, provide so-called Change-
Over Pairs which are more plentiful and not so hard to
obtain.
The Change-Over Pairs next in importance to the true
variety in Class I are placed in Class II and also involve
transitions from one series to another, but differ in that
many changes from one series to the other may occur in
either direction in a letter block, occasioned by the simul-
taneous printing of two or more series. One illustration
of this phenomenon was observed in 50 consecutive notes
comprising the last half of an original pack of 100.
Thirty-four of these are listed in the accompanying tabu-
lation, “Change-Over Pairs in a Block of 34 Consecutive
Notes. Series iy28A & 10288 in Block F-B" and the
photograph of one of the pairs. It is readily seen that, of
the first seven sheets from which this run was taken, four
are Series iy28A and three are Series 19288, alternating
one and one, and thus creating six Change-Over Pairs,
three Progressive Type and three Recessive Type. How
the sheets got in that order is conjectural, but it seems
proi)ahle that they may have had some expert help.
Another thing of interest here is that all notes are
from the left hand column of six notes, positions A to F
on the sheet. Since the 12-sui)Ject sheets were cut in
two, vertically, before the serial numbers were applied,
there was an equal number of half sheets containing the
right hand column of six notes, positions G to L. Thus
there are always as many possibilities of haring Change-
Over Pairs with the letters L and G as there are F and A.
The change-over between series and back again is not
limited to any two consecutive series but may be found
in two series which are not adjacent to each other; for
example, pairs comprising Series 1928A and Series
I928C. Series 1928A and Series 1928D, Series 1928A and
Series 1928E. Series 1928B and 1928D. Series 1928B and
1928E, Series 1928C and Series 1928E. A striking ex-
ample of this type may be seen on Page 5, Figures 8 & 9,
of the Standard Handbook of Mo<lern. U.S. Paper Money,
First Edition, by Goodman, Schwartz and O'Donnell.
Change-Over Pairs in Class 11 are relatively numerous,
occurring in 117 possible block and 18 series combinations
in one dollar notes, ten block and five series combinations
ill five dollar notes and 14 block and seven series in
ten dollar notes. These are. by no means, all the pairs that
are possible because they can occur in both Progressive
and Recessive types, which alone could double the num-
ber. and also in an unknown number of repetitions in
each combination.
Change-Over Pairs of Class III are of the cut-off
variety, simitar to Class I, but instead of being between
two series, are between different types in the same aeries.
This class is to be found in the one dollar Series 1935A
notes, between the regular issue and die Hawaii and
North Africa World War II Emergency issues, and be-
tween the regular issue and the Red “R” and Red “S”
Experimental issues; in the five and ten dollar Series
1934, it is found only between the regular issues and the
North Africa World War 11 Emergency issue.
In this group are 16 Progressive Type and 13 Recessive
Type pairs of one dollar notes, involving Series 1935A
Blocks X-B, Y-B, A-C, B-C, C-C, F-C, I-C. L-C, P C,
R-C and S-C. Six Progressive Type and six Reces.sive
Type pairs of five dollar notes arc in this group, involv-
ing only Series 1934A Block K-A. Six Progressive Type
and six Recessive Type pairs of ten dollar notes are in
this group, involving Series 1934A Blocks A-A and B-A.
At a lime when, formerly, the machines which applied
the serial numbers to the notes were capable of printing
the number 100,000,000, a Change-Over Pair was cre-
ated by the transition from the end of one hliwk in a
series to the beginning of the next block in that series.
An example of this would be a pair in which the first
note would have serial number AlOOOOOOOOA. and the
second note would have serial number BlkXKKkMMIlA.
This would have been a Class III pair, except when a
series terminated at the end of a hlwk. in whicii case
it would have been Class 1. This type is no longer
pos.sible due to the eight digit limitation of the present
numbering machines. Now the last nuinher in any block
is 99,999,999 and the 100,000,000lh note is a star note
with a wholly unrelated serial number, which does not
distinguish it from the star notes which terminate every
other letter block or the ones which replace all the notes
damaged in the printing process.
Fourth in importance are the pairs of Class IV. whicli
are similar to Class II. but instead of being changes
back and forth between series, they are changes in the
same block between different types in the same series.
Possible combinations producing pairs in this class are
exceeded only by those in Class H. There are 77 block
and ten series combinations in the one dollar denomina-
tion, 27 block and seven series combinations in the
five dollar denomination, and 14 bl<x-k and eight series
combinations in the ten dollar denomination. These
figures, too, can be doubled to provide for both Progres-
sive and Recessive Types, and can be further expanded by
the repetition of pairs in each of the blocks.
Class V has been included here to illustrate how far
the classification of this variety can be carried and to
demonstrate the inequity of applying a single price to
all Change-Over Pairs. It is obvious that the pairs of
Classes 11, IV and V can not possibly have a value even
approaching that which the unique pairs of Classes 1
and III can command.
For those interested in Class V, the Poor Man's Change-
Over Pairs, it comprises the changes back and forth be-
tween minor types in the same series. Not enough infor-

Philatelic Numismata
A Bank Note Detector Advertisement
By Forrest W. Daniel
Hewet & Co., New York, publishers of “Hewel's Fac-
simile Bank-Note Delccter,” used an unusual envelope
when they mailed advertising material to potential cus-
tomers. Normally a philatelic item, its relation to
numismatics will be recognized by collectors of stale
bank notes. The probable enclosure is more nearly a
numismatic item, being an illustrated advertisement for
a bank note detector; and a Hewet detector, if one exbts,
would be an invaluable addition to numismatic litera-
ture. Most paper money collectors are aware of an
area in which numismatics and philatelies overlap, but
the extent of the common area is not loo widely realized
by collectors who specialize in one hobby to the ex-
clusion of the other.
Collecting covers (entire envelopes) is a specialty of
stamp collecting in which the collector desires the en-
tire envelope rather than just the stamp. He knows from
whom and to whom the letter was sent and in many cases
the route. For a number of years in the middle of the
nineteenth century, firms were permitted to cover the
entire front of their business envelopes with intricate,
light-color designs carrying their advertisement When
government stamped envelopes were used for this pur-
pose, an open space was left so the embossed stamp
would not be covered. Advertising covers are collected
along lines of interest to each collector — he may choose
the type of business advertised, city or state where they
were used, unusual cancellation, or even, perhaps, the
type of stamp.
Hewet & Co., 9 Nassau St., Duncan Sherman & Co’s.
Building, New York, was one of the companies which
used a full-design advertising envelope. The gray
lithographed background permits scroll work and letter-
ing to expose the color of the paper. The left one-third
of the cover has a fancy scroll rosette containing the re-
turn address. The balance has the wording “HEWET’S
/ FAC-SIMILE / BANK-NOTE / DETECTER.” against a
background of loops. The design is bordered by a white
line with fancy corners, and has an overall suggestion of
hank note engraving. Size of the cover is 3 5/16 by 7
inches, approximately bank note size. The cover was
mailed in New York on April 20; the year is indis-
tinguishable but most likely 1859; the stamp is a 3c 1857.
The enclosure in the envelope addressed to the Post-
master Of, Fair Haven, Conn., was very likely identical
to a four-page leaflet in the collection of the American
Numismatic Society, New York. The front page has
pictures of eight notes, there are a page and a half of
text and the balance is testimonials, it is curious, how-
ever, that the title “Hewet’s Fac-Simile Bank-Note De-
tector” appears nowhere in the advertisement.
The title page reads: “The Eureka Counterfeit De-
tecter. Prospectus of HEWET’S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF
AMERICAN BANK-NOTE CURRENCY; An Infallible
Detecler of Fraudulent Money, By Photo-Lithographic
Fac-Similee in Miniature of Every Genuine Bank Note
in the United States and Canadas. To be Issued in
Weekly Numbers at Twenty-Five Cents Each.” Notes
pictured are from New Jersey, Virginia, Minnesota, Ala-
bama and Pennsylvania.
Counterfeiting is defined in the leaflet as “the manu-
facture for fraudulent purposes of fac-similes of genuine
bank notes.” It states that counterfeiting had never been
the source of very aggravated loss to the public since
the talent required to produce a fac-simile of a genuine
note could find more profitable employment in legitimate
engraving. The greater loss to the public was caused by
spurious and altered notes, “which circulate in a ratio of
at least several thousand dollars to one dollar of real
counterfeits.”

“These spurious and altered notes are generally the
issues of exploded and broken banks, which being origi-
nally executed by a regular bank-note engraving hrm for
an originally solvent bank, of course compare in point of
workmanship, etc., with issues of solvent banks general-
ly. The circulation of the exploded banks is very fre-
quently obtained after failure by dishonest parties, who
at once make it their business to erase the title and loca-
tion of the broken bank, and either by pasting or re-
printing in the title of some bank in good credit, and
altering the location to correspond, succeed in foisting
these altered notes upon the public as good money, be-
cause the general character of the work has a genuine
appearance.”
The raising of the value of a note by removing the
denomination counters and replacing them with others
of higher value either by printing or by pasting over
with very thin paper was a further cause of great loss.
Another stratagem of counterfeiters was to use a false
plate, or a genuine plate of a previously solvent bank,
until it was noticed and reported in the weekly lists of
counterfeit notes and then change the bank name and
location and continue its use.
The plan of Hewet’s detector was to publish a minia-
ture fac-simile of every genuine note in circulation in the
United States and Canada. “There are no two notes
exactly alike — either the style of letter used in the title
PACE 106
WHOLE NO. 32
Paper Money
is different, the vignettes, portraits, or counters vary, or
the denomination, location, etc., are dissimilar.” By
comparing a note with the reproduction in the book it
would be a simple matter to determine whether a note
had the correct design for the bank and denomination in-
dicated on the face. Use of illustrations of genuine notes
would provide greater security than could be afforded by
any written or schematic description of bank notes. The
detector was to be a guard against altered and spurious
notes rather than fraudulent reproductions of actual
notes which would have to be judged by other criteria.
Current bank note reporters and counterfeit detectors
which contained lists of known counterfeits and discount
rates of distant banks at various banking centers would
have been necessary to supplement the Hewet publica-
tion.
Each weekly issue of Hewet’s detector was to contain
about 150 fac-similes approximately 2% by 1*4 inches
in size. The entire work comprised of about 75 num-
bers, about 11,000 fac-similes, was to be completed with-
in a year after the first issue wa.s published. More
rapid production was contemplated near the project’s
completion. Price of the weekly editions was to be 25
cents, with advance subscriptions available at $15.00.
Principals of Hewet & Co. were H. W. Hewet, William
Cousland and Fred E. Bliss, the latter two being cited as
“Late of Bald, Cousland & Co., Bank Note Engravers.”
The prospectus is dated March 1, 1859.
Published recommendations for “Hewet’s Encyclopedia
of American Bank-Note Currency” came from Chas.
Toppan of the American Bank Note Co., the bank de-
partments of the states of New York, Wisconsin and
Massachusetts, clearing houses in New York and Boston,
and banks.
Such an ambitious publishing project as proposed by
Hewet & Co. would have produced a volume which, what-
ever value it had at the time, would be of even greater
value to numismatists today. But was it ever produced?
William H. Dillistin’s exhaustive research in the collec-
tions of the great libraries and historical societies failed
to find even mention of it. In his book “Bank Note Re-
porters and Counterfeit Detectors, 1826-1866,” Dillistin
lists some publications known only from mention in
other periodicals and of which no copies are known; but
there is no mention of “Hewet’s Fac-Simile Bank-Note
Detecter,” “The Eureka Counterfeit Detecler,” “Hewet's
Encyclopedia of American Bank-Note Currency,” or He-
wet & Co.
Due to the short-lived value of information contained
in most counterfeit detectors few were preserved, so a
complete Ibt of those publications may never be made,
but some copies of Hewet’s publication surely would have
been preserved for the illustrations they contained. A
complete set of the “Encyclopedia” or even a single is-
sue would be a valued addition to the literature on paper
money. The stationery and prospectus promised a fine
publication, but was the promise fulfilled?
The Winner’s Circle
This time we pay tribute to a member who does more
than his share to .spread the “gosp>el” of paper money
collecting. The following letter was addressed to the
Editor by Sadie L. Robinson, Secretary of the Puget
Sound Numismatic Society of Bremerton, Washington:
“We would like to take this oportunily to publicly
thank Mr. James N. Gates of Shady Cove, Oregon, for
showing his collection of paper money non-compelitively
at our coin show on May 16-18. 1969.
“The collection consisted of a complete type set (by
P'riedherg design numbers) $I through $10 of the Legal
Tenders. Silver Certificates and Coin Notes, and Gold
Certificates from $10 to $500 including the scarce 1905
red seal $20 in uncirculated condition.
“Particularly outstanding was the National Bank Note
collection starting with the original series and including
all types. $1 through $10, plus one note from each of the
original 48 states, the Districts of Alaska and Columbia
and the Territory of Hawaii. Other territorial notes
were included along with what Mr. Gates described as, ‘in
my opinion the rarest type of the series,’ a black charter
number note from the Territory of Colorado.
“Included in the exhibit were some uncut sheets and
a large number of duplicates so that the front and back
could be shown, the Educational Series, 1890 Coin Notes
and the California Gold Bank notes, to name a few.
"Without Mr. James N. Gales and his collection our
first coin show would have been nothing. We are all
looking forward to our next show.”
The Society was well represented at the 1969 ANA
convention and exhibition, with the top winners in Class
Two. U. S. Paper .Money, and Class Five, U. S. Obsolete
Paper Money, going to members. William A. Slumpp
look first place in Class Two with a five-case display of
errors. John H. Morris. Jr. received the second award
for five cases of uncut sheets. Third place Avent to John
0. Baas for another display of uncut sheets of ihe Na-
tional Currency series of 1929. Other SPMC members
exhibiting in Class Two were George Wait, Henry
Gogolin and David A. Hakes.
Robert M. Hawes received the top award in Class
Five with his five cases of colonial currency, including
uncut sheets. Dr. George Fuld captured second place
with a five-case history of counterfeit detectors, includ-
ing the first known book on the subject published in 1809.
Richard T. Hoober also showed in this class.
Bad Luck Bird on New Zealand Note
The new one-doUar note of New Zealand has on its
reverse a delicate multi-colored engraving of a fantail
bird. The native Maoris have protested that a solitary
fantail bird is an omen of bad luck. Moreover, they
say, the word “dollar” in their language means some-
thing unprintable in English.

Rare Silver Ceiilflcateg
Napler-Thompson on silver certificates are rare siKna-
tares. Here are tbe three denominations bearing these
names. Each Is very rare In new condition.
Although this signature prevailed for only four months
and nine days, it is not rare on the National Bank notes.
There are 18 Texas banks with this combination on their
currency. Some cataloguers, in error, label the Napier-
Thompson combination on National Currency as “rare.”
However there are some rare Napier-Thompson’s in
the regular series. The Silver Certificates, series of 1899,
three denominations, $1, S2, $5, were the first to display
the Napier-Thompson combination. Each of these is ex-
ceedingly rare in an uncirculated state. Seldom is a
serial number of these silvers encountered with more
than six digits — usually only two to four. Valuations
of these silvers are far too low in the marketing lists.
In my opinion, such items as are pictured in this article
should bring: $600 for the $1; $750 for the $2; and
SI. 000 for the $5 (Onepapa). These all have low serials.
Of the many Legal Tenders, all series and all denomi-
nations, only one note bears the Napier-Thompson com-
bination; viz, the Woodchopper $5, series of 1907. Also,
it is undervalued in the price lists and in a new state
should bring $900.
The Cold Certificates were well represented in the
Napier-Thompson combination: Fr. 1170, $10; Fr. 1184,
$20; and Fr. 1211, 8100. Of these three the $10 is the
scarcest — really rare. A new specimen should bring
$400. The $20 is more often encountered, a fair price
for a new one being about $500. And the Napier-Thomp-
son $100 is the commonest of all. probably because more
collectors save back $10 notes as against a $100 de-
nomination. A fair price for Fr. 1211, $100 Gold Certifi-
cate, in a beautiful state, should be about $1,000.
Close runners-up to the four rarest signatures are
Bruce-Jordan and Bruce-Roberls. The former combina-
tion extended only one month and four days. It, too,
is found only on National Bank Notes — the brownback
(second charter) series in all denominations, $5 and in-
cluding $100. In my opinion, Bruce-Jordan is a much
rarer signature on National Bank Notes than Napier-
Thompson.
The Bruce-Roberls combination lasted a brief three
months and 14 days. But it is not nearly so rare as the
Bruce-Jordan signatures. Bruce-Roberts is found on all

Legal Tenders except the $1 and $2 denominations,
through the $100 and $1,000; on all the Treasury or
Coin Notes except the $50, $100 and the $1,000; on all
Silver Certificates, series 1896 (Educational notes $1, $2,
$5) ; and on National Currency, second charter, both
brownbacks and greenbacks.
The Lyons-Roberts Combination
It is intriguing to examine the “commonest” signature
on large size currency. The winner is easily the Lyons-
Roberts combination. These men were together longest:
seven years, two montlis, and 23 days. These signatures
appear on notes of every type, all series and denomina-
tions issued during the Lyons-Roberts era. There are
a few exceptions, denomination-wise. For instance, in
the I.egal Tenders there are no Lyons-Roberts $ 1’8 and
$2’s. But these names are found on all other denomina-
tions, $5 to $1,000.
On Silver Certificates all denominations are repre-
sented, $1 through $50, but no higher. The Treasury
or Coin Notes have only one denomination to represent
Messrs. Lyons-Roberts: the $5. Gold Certificates with
these signatures are the $20*8, $50*8, and the $100’s.
This article is illustrated by specimens from the
author’s collection: some still with me, many gone to
other and younger collectors. Studying the rarity of
currency signatures, large size notes, is rewarding.
Among the ofBcials whose names appear on the U. S.
“saddle blanket” notes are Indians, Negroes, women, and
what-have-you. The hope is that some day an enterpris-
ing young paper money addict will pitch in and tell about
the various and sundry signatures on the small size
currency and the comparative rarities thereof. It will
take courage to tackle the various signatures on U. S.
present day paper money.
Editor's Note:
Many paper money collectors consider Mr. Philpott an ex-
pert in the paper currency field, particularly as concerns large
size notes. He has won awards as an exhibitor of currency;
award of merit several times; Howland Wood and Bob Fried-
berg memorial awards; Heath and Zerbe literary awards:
served ten ccmsecutive terms on the A.N.A. Board; and so on.
His A.NA. number is 1978, and he was awarded the $0-year
Gold Membership Medal in 1968 at San Diego. In the

While it is generally accepted that the “War between
the States” officially ended on April 9 , 1865, nothing is
further from the truth. The little piece of scrip illus-
trated above is historical proof that such was not the case.
General Richard “Dick” Taylor (the son of Zachary
Taylor) at the date of Lee’s surrender was in troop com-
mand of the Confederate Department of Elast Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama. A decision was made by
General Taylor to make a stand in Mississippi. With
some of the remnants of Hood’s shattered Army of Ten-
nessee, he made desperate and hurried troop movements.
The C.S.A. Railroad Company played the most promi-
nent part in these tactics. This scrip, dated April 12,
1865, covered seats for six men from Vaiden to Canton,
Mississippi, group sections for officers of General Taylor’s
command. The troops themselves were transported in
“box car style.” This road covered virtually the same
ground that the Southern Illinob Railroad later covered.
While the stand in Mississippi progressed, another
catastrophe struck the Confederacy. General J. E. John-
ston surrendered on the 26th of April 1863, at Bennett’s
House, near Durham Station, North Carolina.
Taylor realized that further resistance in bb Depart-
ment would lead only to its devastation. On May 2nd
he accepted Gen. Canby’s terms. On May 4th he jour-
neyed to Cilronelle, Alabama to make the surrender
officiaL and on May 8th the paroles of his men were
accepted — ONE MONTH AFTER — General Lee had sur-
rendered.

INDIAN TERRITORY
Originally established on June 30, 1834 to accommo-
date the migrating Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee,
Choctaw, Chickasaw. Muscogee, Seminole), it never had
a Territorial form of government. Along with Oklahoma
Territory, it became the Stale of Oklahoma on Nov. 16,
1907. Between 1890 and 1907, notes were issued on
both Indian and Oklahoma Territories. On Indian Terri-
tory, SCP hrownbacks in $5, $10 and $20 denomina-
tions have been seen on Muscogee, Ardmore, Purcell,
Vinita, Marietta, Checotah, Durant, Pawnee, Miami.
Caddo, Tccumsch, Chickasha, Eufaula, Wetumpka and
Pawhuaka. The first bank chartered in Indian Territory
was The First N.B. of Muscogee, Charter #4385. The
name was changed to MusArogee at a later dale. Red
Seal 1902 TCP notes have been seen on Durant, Ton-
kawa. Atoka, Tulsa and Ponca. Indian Territory Na-
tionals are much sought after and highly prized by
collectors.
The Grinnell collection had F485, brownback $10,
from sheet #1, Purcell N.B.. Purcell; F491, brownback
$10, Isl N.B., McAlester; F50-1. brownback $20, Ard-
more N.B., Ardmore.
MONTANA TERRITORY
Created May 26, 1864, it achieved statehood on Nov.
8, 1889. Territorial notes were probably issued by 25
hanks between 1866 and 1889. The Grinnell collection
contained an FCP Original Series $1 on The First N.B.
of Helena, Charter #161'9. The following notes have been
documented: FCP $5 (Original Series) on The First
N.B. of Deer Lodge, Charter #1975; Original Series FCP
$1 on The Missoula N.B. of Missoula. Charter #2106;
SIO SCP brownback on The Montana N.B. of Helena,
Charter #2813. Some lime ago 1 received correspond-
ence regarding the existence of SCP $5 brownbacks on
White Sulphur Springs and Great Falls. Repeated re-
quests failed to produce copies for my files, so the matter
was closed. My research indicates that perhaps no more
than eight or ten Montana Territory notes are known.
Statistics supporting or contradicting this contention will
be well-received.
The Grinnell collection also contained a $5 brownback
(F467I from sheet #1 on Billings. Ch. #3075, The Gal-
latin Valley N.B. of Bozeman. FCP 85, has been reported
recently, observed by means of a Xerox copy only, and
unfortunately in wretched condition.
NEBRASKA TERRITORY
A Territory as of May 30. 1854. it was created a state
on March 1. 1867. According to currently available in-
formation. only three banks could have issued Territorial
notes: The First N.B. of Omaha, Charter #209; The Otoe
County N.B. of Nebraska City, Charter #1417; and The
Omaha N.B. of Omaha. Charter #163.T An Original
Series FCP $1 exists on #209, another $1 on eitlier #209
or #1633. and a “Lazy 2” on either #209 or #1633. To
date, no other Nebraska Territory Nationals are known.
Unlike the mysterious Idaho notes, the fact that Nebraska
achieved statehood in 1867 can alone account for the
paucity of its Territorial notes. Regional collectors and
researchers may be able to provide additional facts con-
cerning these notes and those perhaps as yet unreported.
New information places in existence a third $1 note,
probably on #209, The 1st N.B. of Omaha. By the time
this article appears, the documentation of a previously
unknown $5 may have taken place.
TERRITORY OF NEW MEXICO
This was a Territory from Dec. 13, 1850, until be-
coming our 47lh state on Jan. 6, 1912. Fifty-five char-
tered banks could have conceivably issued Territorial
notes between 1870 and 1912, but this seems doubtful,
as only a few cities have been confirmed. FCP Original
Series and 1875 Series $1, $2 and $10 have been seen
on various banks in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, with
SCP brownback $5 notes seen on Raton only. Red Seal
TCP $10 notes have been observed on Tucumcari and
Roswell. There are a great many qualified experb on
Nationals residing in the Southwest who could provide
much help on unpublished notes. The call for assistance
goes forth to the wide-open plains from this remote
corner of quaint old New England.
A $5 dateback on Raton has been reported. The
Grinnell collection contained eight specimens: F422, FCP
$10, 1st N.B., Albuquerque; Lyons-Roberls brownbacks:
$50 obv., $100 rev., $100 obv., $50 rev. (from same
sheet, double-denomination errors), Ist N.B. of Albu-
querque: F382, FCP $1, 2nd N.B. of N.M. at Santa Fe;
F530, $100 brownback, 1st N.B., Albuquerque: F555.
$20 dateback, San Miguel N.B., Las Vegas; F472, $5
brownback, 1st N.B., Raton; F382, $1 FCP, 1st N.B.,
Santa Fe.
OKLAHOMA TERRITORY
Created a Territory on May 2, 1890, it was combined
with Indian Territory to form Oklahoma Stale on Nov.
16, 1907. It has yielded probably the most "common”
of the Territorial notes, relatively speaking. SCP brown-
backs. dalebacks. and TCP red seals have been observed
on Guthrie. Stillwater, Norman. Kingfisher, Wagoner.
McAlester. Duncan. Chandler, Weatherford, and many-
other towns. An interesting item came to light a few
years ago with the discovery of a $10 brownback on
Oklahoma City. Slate of Oklahoma, with the date “1893”
on ib face. As the Territory was still in existence in
1893, it can only be assumed that the same plate was
used to print state notes at a later date (after 1907),
but retaining the “1893” in the original plate. No
doubt this was an economy-motivated decision, since
banks were required to pay for any plate variations dic-
tated by any changes in their corporate structure.
Two interesting red seal notes have been seen recently:
F621 on the 1st N.B. of Apache (Ch. 7127), and an F647

ISLAND OF PORTO RICO
The Island was ceded to the United Stales as a result
of the Spanish-American War of 1898. Its only chartered
bank was #6184, organized in 1902 as the First N.B. of
Porto Rico at San Juan. Actually “Puerto” Rico (Rich
Port I in Spanish, the anglicized “Porto” Rico was the
name printed on the National Bank Notes. In 1932, the
name was officially changed to “Puerto” Rico in all
cases. Only five notes are definitely known on #6184;
three $10, one $50. and one $100, all Red Seal TCP
Series 1902.
Two previously unknown red seal $20’s on San Juan
have been discovered (F647), bringing the total popula-
tion of Porto Rico notes known to seven — three $10

(F675). It has been reliably reported that no $5 notes
were issued by the San Juan bank. Red seals only in
10-10-10-20, and 50-100 plates. Blue seals in the same
plate combinations were also issued, but specimens are
unknown to date. (Information courtesy of Mr. Louis
Van Belkum.) ($10 and $100 in Grinnell.)
TERRITORY OF UTAH
Created as a Territory on Sept. 9, 1850, it achieved
statehood on Jan. 4, 1896. Territorial notes were prob-
ably issued by 17 banks from 1866 to 1891. Three notes
(FCP, two $1, one Lazy 2) are known on The Deseret
N.B. of Salt Lake City, bearing the signature of Brigham
Young (Charter #2059). SCP $10 brownbacks are also
known on this bank, and #4564. The First N.B. of Park
City; $5 SCP brownbacks have also been seen on Ogden
(#2597) and Provo City (#2641). Utah notes carried
the Territorial seal in the left oval. Other Territories
carrying a seal in the left oval were Colorado, Dakota,
and some early Wyoming notes. Others may exbt with
a Territorial seal; descriptions or copies of these notes
would be appreciated.
The Grinnell collection had F382, FCP $1, from sheet
#1, Deseret N.B., Salt Lake City (signed by Brigham
Young) ; another similar F382, signed by Young, but
from another sheet; F389, FCP Lazy 2, same as previous,
signed by Young.
TERRITORY OF WASHINGTON
This was a Territory from March 2, 1853 until state-
hood on Nov. 11, 1889. Over 40 banks were chartered
during the Territorial period, but only three notes have
been traced over the years. More may exist, but Wash-
ington Territory notes are recognized as being among
the great rarities. Notes documented: SCP brownback
820 on The Merchants N.B. of Tacoma, Charter #3172;
SCP brownback $5 on The Pacific N.B. of Tacoma,
Charter #3417; SCP brownback $5 on The Browne N.B.
of Spokane Falls, Charter #4025.
WYOMING TERRITORY
The Territory came into being on July 29, 1868; it
became a state on July 10, 1890. Territorials were prob-
ably issued by II banks between 1871 and 1890, but
very few are known. Those seen include: FCP $1 and
$5, Scries 1875, on The Stock Grower’s N.B. of Cheyenne,
Charter #2652, and SCP brownback $10 on The First
N.B. of Rawlins, Charter #4320. Many correspondents
have informed me of the existence of an uncut sheet of
either FCP $5 or $20 notes on either Charter #2110 or
#2518. The former is The Wyoming N.B. of Laramie
City; the latter, Laramie N.B. of Laramie City. A “Lazy
2” has been reported on Charter #1800, The First N.B.
of Cheyenne.
It must be stated once again that this is not an at-
tempt to list all known Territorial National Bank Notes
but rather a brief discourse on such notes documented
and seen by the writer. There are many others that
could have been reported; however, unfortunate record
losses from mv files incurred during the process of mov-
ing prevented this. Several photographs and Xerox
copies were also irretrievably lost. Hopefully, future
editions of Paper Money will contain new data on our
small remaining supply of Territorial National Bank
Notes.

ERRATA AND ADDENDA
Since this article was written, a few important facts
have been discovered: The Third Chapter 820 (Series
1902. Blue Seal) on The First N.B. of Juneau, Charter
#5117, reads only “Alaska.” The note is dated Feb. 15,
1918, six years after Alaska became a Territory of the
U. S. “District” was dropped, but only the name
“Alaska” remained, without any reference to territorial
status. It is believed that all notes issued after 1912
read in this manner. If an Alaska large note exists
bearing the designation “Territory of Alaska,” informa-
tion on it would be greatly appreciated. (Above in-
formation courtesy of Mr. Amon Carter, Jr., Fort Worth,
Tex.) Two series 1902 Red Seal $20 notes previously
unknown on the First N.B. of San Juan. Island of Porto
Rico, have been discovered in the collections of two
prominent numismatists. This then makes the known
population of Porto Rico notes to date (Sept. 1969)
three $10, two $20, one $50 and one $100, all 1902 Red

The Doylestown Bank
By William B. Warden, Jr.
The Doylestown Bank of Bucks County, Pennsylvania
was the first financial institution at the county seat of
Doylestown. The first meeting of persons interested in
forming a Doylestown bank was held at the court house
on Friday evening, December 1, 1831, with Abraham
Chapman presiding over the meeting, and with Henry
Chapman and William T. Rogers acting as secretaries.
Committees were then appointed to look after the pre-
liminary work on the founding of the bank, and a bill
was introduced into the Pennsylvania Legislature to
charier it. The bill was passed by the Legislature and
it became law on April 23, 1832. The commissioners
named to carry the act into effect were John Pugh, Abra-
ham Chapman, Samuel D. Ingham, Col. John Fox, Elias
Ely, Joseph Hough, Jesse Johnson, Samuel Yardley, Sr.,
Col. Thomas Slewart, Samuel Hart and Abel James. A
meeting of the commissioners to organize the bank was
held on May 31, 1832, at William Field’s tavern. The
books for stock subscription were opened at the court
house on July 25th, and the whole amount of the capital
stock of $150,000 in shares of $50.00 each was taken in
from July 25th through the 1st of September, 1832.
The election for the directors of the bank was held on
November 9, 1832, when the following persons were
chosen: Abraham Chapman, John Robbarts, Benjamin
Hough, £. T. McDowell, Mahlon K. Taylor, Christian
Clemens, Major John Blackfan, Elias Ely, John T. Neeley,
William T. Stokes, Timothy Smith, Samuel Kachiine and
Samuel Yardley, Jr. The board of directors had their
first meeting on the same day and elected Abraham Chap-
man as bank president; they hired Daniel Byrnes as
cashier.
The bank notes in denominations of $1. $2, $5, and
$10 were printed by Draper, Underwood, Bald & Spencer
of Philadelphia; and the $20, $50. and $100 notes by
Rawdon, Wright & Hatch of New York.
The bank commenced business on January 7, 1883, in
the stone house of Samuel Nightingale on the south side
of East Slate Street in Doylestown. The house was fitted
up as a bank only temporarily as the directors contem-
plated the erection of a new banking house. Shortly
after, they bought a lot on the west side of North Main
Street, just four blocks away from Samuel Nightingale's
house and built the building which the Doylestown Bank
occupied for the next 65 years.
By strict integrity and careful management the bank
grew in financial strength and importance, and in 1847
the stockholders accepted the extension of the charter
authorized by the Legislature. At a stockholders’ meet-
ing, January 1848, Charles E. DuBois was elected presi-
dent, and Josiah Hart as cashier to replace Daniel Byrnes,
who had died.
The bank remained at its location on North Main
Street until the autumn of 1897, when it removed to its
new building at the crossing of Main and Court Streets
on the site of the Ross Mansion. This location was pur-
chased at public sale, 1897, and on it was erected a hand-
some and unique building, 50 by 82 feet; the height
from the ground is 55 feet. The exterior walls are laid
in red granite and Pompeian brick; the finish, inside and
out, is of the most substantial character, while a massive
vault contributed to the safety of the institution. Until
1928, the banking room, 50 feet square was not sur-
passed in the state. The following directors composed
the board which authorized the new building: Eugene
James, Watson F. Paxson, J. B. Rosenberger, Dr. Harvey
Kratz, Henry Lear, J. Simpson Large, John D. Walter,
John L. DuBois and George Lear, president. The bank,
meanwhile, had been a prosperous institution, and its
acceptance of the Act of Congress, changing it to a
National Bank, with authority to increase the capital to
$300,000, added to its already large volume of business
and broadened its usefulness.
In its long life, the bank up to 1928, had few presi-
dents and cashiers; the former were Abraham Chapman,

Society of Paper Money Collectors, Inc.
Ninth Annual Meeting
The Society of Paper Money Collectors held its ninth
annual meeting at the ANA Convention in Philadelphia
on August 15, 1969, with 111 members and guests pres-
ent. President George W. Wait presided and introduced
the honored guests, ANA President Arthur Sipe and Mrs.
Sipe. Mr. Sipe spoke briefly of the increasing impor-
tance of paper money in numismatics.
The Secretary’s report was made by Thomas C. Bain in
the absence of Secretary Vernon L. Brown. The report
showed the net membership of the Society to be 1,553
as of June 30, 1969, a loss of one from the same date
in 1968. Mr. Bain said that the Society had gained al-
mo.st fifty members in the month of July, and the current
outlook was very promising.
Treasurer 1. T. Kopicki reported a bank balance of
$7,247.91 in the regular accounts and $1,280.40 in the Dr.
Julian Blanchard Memorial Award Fund as of June 30,
1%9. The Increase jiver a year ago was largely due to
the fact that the printing cost of the June 15 issue of
Paper Money had not been deducted as of this date.
Maurice Could read the report of the Editor. Barbara
Mueller. Miss Mueller again stressed the need for more
articles in the foreign and current sized U. S. fields. The
advertising problems have mostly been solved. She
pointed out that a 32-page magazine, issued throughout
the past year, seems to be of the proper size to yield a
balance between advertising and articles. All members
were glad to learn that the J. W. Stowell Printing Co. had
improved its production schedules so that effective in
1970, only a three-week interval will be reijuired from
submission of advertising to the magazine's mailing date.
The time for submission of other matter will also be
reduced one week.
Dick Hooher, Chairman of the Book Committee, re-
ported a number of manuscripts ready, or about ready,
for printing, including Minnesota. Vermont. Iowa, Ne-
braska and Alabama. Negotiations are proceeding for
printing and financing, and considerable progress is ex-
pected in the coming year. Bob Medlar’s Texas book was
published in the past year and has l>een very well re-
ceived.
J. Roy Pennell, Jr., Chairman of the Awards Commit-
tee. presented the following:
Awards of Merit were presented to Robert E. Medlar
and Dr. John A. Muicalus for their contributions to
paper money collecting.
The Julian B. Blanchard Award was won by Waller
D. Allan for his display of bank notes with matching
vignettes.
Literary Awards for the three best articles in Paper
Money Nos. 27. 28, 29, and 30 were: First Award to
Forrest W. Daniel for “Running Antelope — Misnamed
Onepapa’’; Second Award to Harry G. Wigington for
"Obsolete Paper Currency, Drafts & Scrip of California”;
Third Award to M. R. Friedberg for “New Information on
Fractional Currency.”
Honorary Life Memberships in the Society were
awarded to Charles J. Affleck, William P. Donlon and
George W. Wait.
Glenn B. Smedley, Chairman of the Nominating Com-
mittee, presented the following slate of candidates for
the Board of Governors:
Three-Year Term Thomas C. Bain
Richard T. Hoober
J. Roy Pennell, Jr.
George W. Wail
M. 0. Warns
Two-Year Term William P. Donlon
James L. Grebinger
Brent H. Hughes
Charles O'Donnell
Mr. Smedley pointed out that these varying terms were
necessary to bring the Board into balance so that begin-
ning in 1970, five Board Members will be elected annually
for three-year terms. Ail nominees were elected. The
holdover members (elected last year) include Messrs.
Glenn B. Smedley, Harley L. Freeman, Nathan Goldstein
II. Maurice M. Gould, Alfred D. Hoch and John H.
Morris. Jr.
The members approved a proposal that we issue a new
directory, with optional inclusion of names or addresses.
There was some discussion of election procedures. Presi-
dent Wait thanked Charles O'Donnell for the excellent
banquet arrangements, after which the meeting was ad-
journed.
At the subsequent Board meeting, the following officers
were elected for a two-year term:
President — Glenn B. Smedley
Vice-President — J. Roy Pennell, Jr.
Secretary — Vernon L. Brown
Treasurer — M. 0. Warns

Paper Money
Hungarian and Confederate Catalogs Highlight
Recent Library Accessions
During the past quarter, SPMC Secretary Vernon
Brown has transferred Society Copies of The Numismatist
and the ANA Club Bulletin as listed below to the Library.
He also donated an unusual paperback catalog of Hun-
garian paper money in two volumes. Although the
Hungarian language is admittedly difRcult, an introduc-
tion in English sets the stage for fairly simple use of
the catalog; also, the Hungarian text is repeated in Ger-
man in Volume I and in English in Volume II. The
former covers the Austro-Hungarian monarchy from 1759
through World War II plus war issues of various parts
of the empire such as Montenegro and Serbia. Volume
II covers independent Hungary 1918-1964 and, of special
interest to Americans, the Kos.sulh period of 1848-66. A
very extensive bibliography completes the catalog.
SPMC honorary life member Charles J. Affleck has
given the Library a much-needed copy of his widely
acclaimed catalog. The Obsolete Paper Money of Vir^
ginia. Volume I. as well a.# a copy of the booklet on
Confederate bonds and certificates he wrote in collabora-
tion with B. M. Douglas. In the same general area of
interest, Harry G. Wigingtun donated two copies of The
Virginia Numismatist.
Theodore Kemm has furnished two copies of his popu-
lar Official Guitle of United States Paper Money, first
edition. 1968, in sturdy, hardbound edition. The Society
is indebted to all these friends for their donations.

Russian Propaganda Notes
Notes issued from 1918 to 1921 by the Russian Soviet
Federated Socialist Republic (later part of the USSR!
in denominations from one to 100,000 rubles carried the
slogan “Workers of the World I'nite” in seven languages
— Chinese, Arabic, English, Spanish. French. German and
Russian. This slogan provoked considerable criticism
abroad. In Britain, for instance. Prime Minister Lloyd
George was badgered in Parliament about the prospect
of establishing trade relations with Russia on the basis
of such “Bolshevist” notes.
